ESPRESSIONE

art direction gumdesign

Ogni pezzo e' parte di un percorso: liscio e perfetto all'interno, come l'inizio della vita, dove tutto e' ancora intatto, puro, potenziale - ruvido e "rovinato" all'esterno, una superficie imperfetta che accoglie la storia e il vissuto. La materia viene trattata sulla superficie interna con antiacidi per evitare che si macchi durante le immersioni mentre sull'esterno il marmo viene lavorato artigianalmente per lasciare un aspetto naturale che garantisca anche la porosita' e l'assorbimento di cui abbiamo bisogno. Il caffe', elemento quotidiano e vitale, viene usato per sporcare e macchiare la superficie ruvida esterna del centrotavola; questo processo simboleggia il percorso della vita: all'inizio siamo intatti, poi gli eventi, come il tempo e le emozioni, lasciano tracce sulla nostra pelle, sul nostro essere.

Each piece is part of a journey: smooth and perfect inside, like the beginning of life, where everything is still intact, pure, potential - rough and "ruined" on the outside, an imperfect surface that embraces history and lived experience. The material is treated on the inner surface with anti-acid agents to prevent staining during use, while the exterior marble is worked by hand to leave a natural appearance that also guarantees the porosity and absorption we need. Coffee, a vital and everyday element, is used to stain and mark the rough outer surface of the centerpiece; this process symbolizes the journey of life: at the beginning we are intact, then events, like time and emotions, leave traces on our skin, on our being.
